Ideally, HBA1C should be tested every 3 months. But one can get it done once in 6 months too.
The hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to your hemoglobin.
You are recommended to move your body every day. Aim for 30-60 minutes of moderate exercise 5 days per week. Fill half of your plate with non-starchy veggies at every meal, as well as some lean protein and plant-based fat to assist with blood sugar control.
HbA1c is your average blood glucose (sugar) level for the last two to three months. If you have diabetes, an ideal HbA1c level is 48mmol/mol (6.5%) or below.
A normal A1C level is below 5.7%, a level of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates prediabetes, and a level of 6.5% or more indicates diabetes.
